Boarding u Man-Of-yTnr.

eve continue to lave a great many
convcntonalities in our naval and army
service, and to cling to much of that
which is old and useless in teachings and
PRACTICES said an old navy officer the
other day. I'VE continue to instruct
our naval cadets and marines in boarding
ships continued he, "when there is not
the least particle of sense or utility in it,
1t is as senseless to talk about boarding
q modern man-of-war as it is to take q
trip to the moon. ] remember that dur
ing one of the last engagements in Euro
pean waters a man-of-war belonging to
some country ran alongside British YES

but after pounding around with cut
lasses, axes, ETC., We're wholly unable to
enter t.e ship, and had to go back and
continue the fight at long range. We
will have to do our fighting with ships by
means of dynamite rams, steel projcc-
tiles and the big guns. We have no use

relics of antiquity. New York Sun.

The Norwegian Cuspidor.

Norwegian spitkin, which is y most in
genious device, and not only ingenious,
but wholesome and cleanly. 1t is an open
brass pan, some four inches in depth,
filled with broken twiss Of green juniper.
These are put in fresh every day, an
invention, no doubt, of poverty in the
first place, for the Norwegian has been
hard pressed for centuries, and has learned
TO set his fragrant juniper and iir boushs

countries; for instance, spreading them

There is no doubt that man can exist
en- q vegetable diet. He can obtain from
the plant world, digest and assimilate
these materials which are needful for tho
repair of his own tissues. The arts con-
.erned in the preparation of food will also
undoubtedly aid him in his conversion of
vegetable into animal equivalents and
will supplement his powers by shortening
considerably the period required for gas
trio digestion. Still, after all has been
said, it must be allowed that the labor of
the alimentary tract is better adjusted
and the formation Of sound tissues more
assured, by the use of Il mixed diet. II,
on the one hand, we assert the proved
value of hydrocarbons, but as sources Of
energy in support of our use of vegeta-
bles, VIC must also maintain that meat
which yields MS most easily the forma-
tive and stimulant proteids can hardly be
discarded. Our internal physical forlna-
ton, which is intermediate between that
of the carnivora and herbivora, should
afford at least suggestive clew III our

see, in back number of st. Nicholas.
that one of your young correspondents
appeals partly to me in regard to birds
flying down. But all who have written
seem so well posted that doubt if l can
add anything to their knowledge.
However. have seen California quail,
q wood dove and humming bird flying
downward; but in slow flyers, with
large wings and heavy bodies, the wings
are used more or less as parachutes in
going down; in other words, the birds
spread their wings and rely upon gravity.
This 1 have noticed in the sand hill
cranes in their migrations along the
Sierra Madres. T. flock of say 100 will
mount upward in beautiful spiral,
flashing in the sunlight, all the while
uttering loud, 9iscordant notes, until
they attain an altitude Of nearly mile
above the sea level. Then they form in
regular lines, and soar away at an angle
that in five miles @. so will bring them
within 1,000 feet of the earth. Then
they will stop and begin the spiral up
ward movement again until a high eleva
lion is reached, when away they &c
again, sliding Gown hill in the air, to-
ward their winter home. 1t is very cvi
dent that vast amount of muscular
eyertion is aayed in this way. In some
of these slides that have watched
through a glass, birds would pass from
three to four miles, should judge, with
out Tapping the wings.-St Nicholas.

Lamaism In China.

The Rev. Jonathan Crossctt, who for
seventeen years has been q missionary in
China, says that ono section of China is
still untouched by the missionaries the
Mongols living to the north and west.
The Mongols go down to Lassa in Thibet
as to Mecca, and evidence can be found
among them of the teachings of the early
Christians. They are the most tenacious
as to their religion Of any people whom
lie had ever met. Their deity is called
Borhan. or 'iisht," and their belief
Lanuism- is founded upon tenets held
by all Christians. They observe one day
in every seven, and although they wor-
ship idols, they have ten commandments,
and their system of morals is very high.
